A minute of a clock makes 360 degree angle in 60 mins then 60' should equal 360 degree then how 60' = 1 degree?

Solution

This unit of angle is different from time unit. Here smaller unit of angle( smaller than degree is called as minute and smaller than minute is called as second). It is just the symbol being called as minute and second as we call the smaller unit of length as centimetre and millimetre. that's why 1 degree= 60' and 1'=60''. Don't confuse it with time.
